7 Days- Halloween

It was Halloween, something that Aki didn't celebrate much. The costumes reminded her too much of her past and her old disguise. Yusei however, tried his best to make sure she was able to have a good time. We start at Rua and Ruka's house.

"O boy! I can't wait to trick or treat Yusei!"

"Oh Rua, get a grip," Ruka said, sighing.

Rua was dressed as a machine type monster, while Ruka was simply a fairy.

"Okay guys you ready to go?" Yusei said. He was taking care of them more often now. Him and Aki have developed a bond with them, almost like a family. However, today on Halloween, Aki wasn't with the group. She was in the bedroom, laying down, and just feeling a little depressed. Yusei walks in while trying to find her.

"Aki come on, we have to take Rua and Ruka trick or treating."

Aki just turned around.

"I don't want to go," she said without much enthusiasm.

"Come on, I can't go without you." This made her smile a bit.

"Well, alright but don't expect me to wear a costume."

"Deal."

They head out and Rua immediately rushes to get as much candy as he can.

"Rua it's still early take your time," Yusei said jokingly.

Rua and even Ruka were having such a good time that they didn't notice what Yusei said and just continued on their trick or treating. Aki, however, was just walking next to Yusei with their hands interlaced.

"See Aki, it's not so bad."

"Yea... I guess so Yusei."

"Something wrong?"

"No it's just... well... your such a good person, and you always help others first.. and I guess I just wanted to say thanks. I'm glad I didn't just stay home all alone."

"Oh alright Aki." Yusei was blushing. "Your welcome."

As they continue walking to keep up with Rua and Ruka, Aki stops walking.

"Aki, what's wrong?"

Aki was staring off somewhere. When Yusei looked where she was looking he could see what it was that she was staring at. There was a little girl. She had a Halloween costume. But the reason it was such an eye catcher was that it was a witch costume. Aki just then stared at the ground and a few tears started falling from her face. Yusei took hold of her and gave her a warm embrace. She could feel by his soft embrace, that he really did care about her. This made her feel a bit better.

"Aki, I know your thinking about... you know, but you just need to get rid of that. Your not the Black Rose Witch anymore. No one even thinks or calls you that anymore. Look, you suffered a lot but that's all over. With anything bad comes good afterward. And that good is people who care about you, people who don't judge you, and people who love you, and not just your family but me as well."

"Yusei," she said with a few tears still on her face.

They didn't speak anymore. Their faces simply drew nearer. Soon enough their lips touched and they kissed for quite a while. Finally they stop. To their surprise, Rua and Ruka were standing in front of them.

"It's Halloween, not Valentine's Day," Rua said smirking.

They all laughed. Aki then thought, this was the best Halloween she ever had.
